Webinar Series on Climate Change
December 5 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
How will climate change impact Texas and the native prairie and savanna ecosystems? How do we plan restorations to be sustainable in 2050? Do we need to change our land management practices? The Native Prairies Association of Texas (NPAT) Fayette Prairie Chapter will host a year–long series of presentations to explore climate change and the implications for the Fayette Prairie ecosystem. Beginning with the climate models, this series will examine the forecasts within a historical context, then focus upon water resources, management practices, projected changes in tallgrass prairies and soil microbial structure, and end with restoration paradigms in a changing world. A wealth of expertise consisting of active researchers will bring the science of climate change and the implications to us, the landowners. The presentations will be sequential; please plan to engage at the beginning. Mark your calendars now!
The Zoom link will be the same for all these presentations.
